Strong's Lexicon Gog: Gog Original Word: גּוֹג Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1136 (Γώγ): Gog Usage: In the Bible, "Gog" is a name associated with a leader or a nation that is prophesied to come against Israel in the end times. The term is often used in eschatological contexts, particularly in the prophetic books of the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: The identity of Gog has been the subject of much debate among scholars and theologians. In the context of ancient Near Eastern literature, Gog is often seen as a symbol of the ultimate enemy of God's people. The name appears prominently in the Book of Ezekiel, where Gog is described as the leader of a great coalition of nations from the north that will attack Israel. This prophecy is often interpreted as a depiction of a future apocalyptic battle. The historical and cultural context suggests that Gog represents forces opposed to God's purposes, and the prophecy serves as a reassurance of God's ultimate victory over evil.
